Welcome
I'm Teresa Wynne Taylor, former fashion designer from Australia, turned language teacher, author and lover of abundant things related to Indonesia - in particular the island of Java where I lived for many years.
I'm the author of – The House in Bausasran –
a cross-cultural story of love, loss and liberty set between Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Brisbane, Australia.
This new website adventure aims to share my passion for people, places, language and storytelling. I hope you enjoy the treasure trove of trinkets under the menu tabs.
In the late seventies the hippie trail leads
Lara Davies to the island of Java. Years later, after many seasons in the Australian fashion industry, life turns around and takes her back.
There, immersed in culture where tradition collides with modernity, she finds unexpected love, language and a new life, interwoven with
mystery, magic and wonder.
